Video Consultation GP - Manchester/Home Based - Full Time

Are you looking for a GP role which can offer something different, pioneering, modern and innovative?

We are currently looking to speak to GP’s who would be interested in joining us on the early stages of this project.

Join our Manchester Clinical Support Unit as a Video Consultation GP

The IMH network of Primary Care sites benefits from our Clinical Support Unit (CSU) in Manchester, which allows Clinical Officers (supported by a GP) to deal with administration within the practices. On top of this, we’re also introducing a revolutionary service that enables our patients to have virtual consultations with a GP through their mobile devices and tablets. The service also allows patients to receive drug prescriptions, referrals to health specialists, and book health exams with nearby facilities even when they are not in the practice.

We are dedicated to supporting the NHS 5-year Forward View and plan to combine clinical telephone, video and triage services with face-to-face appointments to improve on our already successful record of patient care. As a Video Consultation GP you’ll provide virtual consultations and respond to the health and wellbeing needs of our NHS patients. You will have full access to our clinical systems of regular patients (SystmOne and EMIS).

This soon to be role is ideally going to be needed as full-time, however part-time will also be considered. Initially, you’d be based out of our Clinical Support Unit in Eccles, Manchester (M30 0BG) and flexibility on location would gradually increase to allow you to offer the virtual service from your home or office, if this was your preference.
